What Deanna Read #53: June 2020

Hello and happy second half of the year. Wow! It's July already. Can you believe it? I sincerely hope that the second half of 2020 will be better. No fire breathing dragons. No alien dinosaur invasions.

We've ventured out a little more in the last month and had a few lunches out with our wedding anniversary celebration and also the launch of a new gin created by a friend of ours. Those were fun events but also a little nerve-wracking with being out in public. I'm a little paranoid about exposure.

A little announcement. Helen will not have a "What Helen Read" this month as she is poorly and recovering. Please send her good healing thoughts and wishes.

That's it from me. I hope everyone is well. My thoughts are with you all. Stay safe.

Here's what I read for the month.

Finding His Mark

Finding English

The Vanishing

The Unseen

Real men vs romance men

I should probably start this post off by saying that this is one woman's opinion. Mine. And even as I go on and on and wax lyrical about the romance heroes I adore and the man who is the love of my life, I'm just one woman. And this is my opinion.

Will everyday life change future romances?

As we move further into the pandemic, and things start to ease in various countries, I continue to think about how all of this will impact the romance genre. I talked about whether it will impact contemporary romance in another post. But today, I want to explore some of the changes I've seen happening around me and if those changes are here to stay. Consider this a follow up from the previous article.

Review: The Queen's Flight (The Emerging Queens #2) by Jamie K Schmidt

I know I've added the odd extra post a week recently on Saturdays. What can I say? I've got a little extra time and the inclination to blog a little more. And I've got some things queued up that I've wanted to share. I hope you don't mind the extra post and enjoy them though this may not happen every Saturday.

For today's post, it's an old book review for a book I read a while ago and never posted. It made me smile and brought back good memories of the reading experience so I thought I'd share. And if you love dragon shifters, this is a good one.
